Just come back from 4 days snow holing used the Hunka!  Spot on in the snow holes NO condensation which was a bonus.  If i was really picky another 1ft would be nice but then i just think it was £25!  Where the logo is the two seams maybe a zip, No zip makes it hard to urinate into your Nalgene when in a snow hole!!!

Hi Tom, sorry for the slow reply but we tend to use this section for feedback rather than sales enquiries. The Hunka packs down in to a 15 cm sphere.

Looking for a reasonably priced, breathable bivvi bag and this seemed to fit the bill. Very quick delivery and I liked Alpkits ethics. Used it on a trek along the Drakensberg Ridge in S Africa,11000 feet, sleeping in caves, in “unseasonally wet and cold weather”, in at the deep end then! I’m just over 6ft tall and there was plenty of lenght but wasn’t room for me and a 3/4 thermarest without the bag being to tight so the mat had to stay out in the cold! The draw string was a bit fiddly to get comfy but ok. After a night in the cloud and mist I had a coating of frost by the morning and a lot of condensation(enough to be concerned about drying out sufficiently during the day) To be fair, that was the worst night and the Hunka probably isn’t designed for those conditions so I would have no worries using it at other times. Bit more width so you can take a mat inside with you would be nice though- but for 25 quid you can’t complain

Firstly, great service, delivery super quick as usual. I bought this a few months ago in the summer, but never got round to using it. Finally got a chance to use this last weekend. Really pleased with it. Far less condensation than my mate’s Rab Survival bag, but I think he is a bit sweatier than me! It really pissed it down during the night so I did the drawcord up which worked fine, then I opened my jacket and put that over my head. Had a great first bivy experience. Thanks very much Alpkit.

Tried out my Hunka on a wet November on Dartmoor, kept me and my precious down bag warm and dry, not a hint of condensation. Only slight problem is the first time I put it into it’s stuff sack the drawcord detatched itself so now I’m unable to properly close the stuffsack - any suggestions on how to fix this? Otherwise, great product and great service.

Features at a glance

  • Waterproof - Yes, the fabric has a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, basically like your tents groundsheet
  • Breathable - Yes, the fabric has an MVP of 10,000g/m2/24hr
  • Low weight and bulk - We weighed 10 and the average was 388g
  • Intergral stuff pocket - On the base of the bag is a mesh bag that you fold the bivi bag into, so no stuffsack to lose
  • Dual drawcord - You can close from either side or both so suitable for left and right handers and if you sleep on your front as I do then no toggle to press into your chest bone
  • Hooded design - Although lighter, some of the more basic bivi bags don't offer quite the same usabilty. The hood design allows you to overlap the opening making it more weather proof, however this design only has a drawcord so in heavy and direct rain you may get wet. The shaped hood is also good in snowy bivis where loose snow tries to get in your bag all the time
